We had a @Uclancomensus summer celebration today! It was fantastic to see everyone and thank them for their involvement across the past academic year! @UCLanHealth @PABSUCLan @Uni_Lancashire
As we near the end of #Carersweek2025 we want to thank all the carers who take part at @UClan and share their concerns and experiences to help prepare students for practice.

We hear a lot about the importance of EQ,
But very little about how to develop it.
Here are 19 phrases that people with high EQ use,
And that anyone can start using themselves today.
